Drive capacity for G3 B/W

[nd2003grad]

Can anyone tell me if the max capacity refers to total hard drive space or just PER drive?  I'm going to install a second drive and I'd like to get a 120 plus the 80 I already have...

Yeah Bongo, I've seen that article...but aside from the PCI card recommendation (I can't find any of these for a reasonable price), it doesn't make it clear if it can handle 128 gb per drive or 128 total.  I'm PRESUMING (big risk there!) that it's per drive.  I sure hope so.

As an ex B&W G3 owner, I can with confidence say it's per drive

That is FANTASTIC news...THANKS!

the limitation applies only to the built in IDE interface of the B+W g3..
as a current B+W g3 450mhz owner, i can say that is the reason why i have an Acard 6880M installed in mine

installing any type of pci storage controller will sidestep the issue completely, 100%
but the g3 b+w can definately be more buggy then the g4's that followed it..
even when using a pci storage controller, sometimes u need to do a pram reset
i think it is to do with the openfirmware implementation? im not sure.. but it usualy
takes more tinkering then the AGP g4's.
